It cannot be stressed enough that healthy oral hygiene is an important part of the overall health of one’s body. The soft tissues of the mouth and the gums are a common source of disease if proper cleaning and care is not followed. For this reason, patients who visit my Beverly Hills practice are thoroughly examined and educated on the correct way to maintain healthy teeth and gums. This can help patients prevent gum disease and other medical problems that could develop throughout the body.
There have been studies that show how dental professionals can reduce the risk of primary and secondary cardiovascular disease events in patients with gum disease. When patients understand that regular brushing, flossing, and rinsing can help reduce build-up of bacteria, they decrease their risk of complicated medical issues. I make sure that patients are fully informed of how to care for their gums and teeth and know how to detect signs of any problems, in between check-up visits.
If you feel that you may be showing signs of an illness, either through gum disease or chronic bad breath, please feel free to contact me at my Beverly Hills dental office. As a dedicated Los Angeles dentist, I look forward to helping you achieve healthy teeth and gums.
